[OpenID] Combining Google & Yahoo user experience research

[Nate Klingenstein]

Allen,

If your use case has now become, in its entirety, email verification,  
rather than federated authentication or transport of trusted  
attributes between domains, then I think our needs have diverged  
significantly.  We of course handle and perform email verification  
daily using Shibboleth deployments, but it's a small facet of what we  
need to do.  If that becomes what OpenID is intended solely to do in  
the future...

I think you'd still be interested in trusted attributes about users  
from other providers at some point in the future, but if not, that's  
a substantial difference in requirements that it's very good to  
reveal now.

Take care,
Nate.
